Flags are not just instruments; they're an extension of your expression, worship, and art. Proper care and handling are crucial to ensuring they remain vibrant and effective in your performances. Here's a guide to flagging etiquette that will help you maintain and prolong the life of your cherished flags.

Dos:

1. Store with Care:

• Cool, Dry Storage: Avoid leaving flags in heated areas such as cars or near windows to prevent fabric damage or burns.

• Roll, Don't Fold: Rolling flags instead of folding them can prolong the longevity of the rods and prevent creases in the fabric.

2. Timely Repairs:

• Address Small Issues Promptly: Bring in flags for repairs as soon as you notice minor problems. Delaying repairs may lead to irreparable damage.

3. Proper Handling:

• Hold Flags Correctly: Handling flags properly, with care and precision, can significantly increase their lifespan.

4. Regular Maintenance:

• Annual Cleaning and Tune-Up: Bring your flags in for cleaning and fine-tuning at least once a year. This ensures any faults or defects are identified and addressed promptly.

Don'ts:

Neglect Storage Conditions:

• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Don't store flags in hot or excessively humid environments, as this can damage the fabric and materials.

Delay Repairs:

• Ignoring Minor Issues: Waiting too long to address small issues can exacerbate problems, making repairs impossible.

Rough Handling:

• Mishandling Flags: Rough handling or improper storage can lead to unnecessary wear and tear.

Infrequent Maintenance:

• Skipping Annual Checks: Neglecting regular tune-ups may result in unnoticed defaults or issues that worsen over time.

Your flags are more than mere accessories; they're integral to your expression and worship. By following these dos and don'ts, you can ensure that your flags remain in excellent condition, allowing you to continue your artistic and spiritual journey with confidence and vibrancy.

Remember, a little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty and effectiveness of your flags.
